Song of the Week

Phoenix is set to explode in the United States, given their recent performance on Saturday Night Live. Or like many great bands from across the pond (in this case France), they will simply continue to attract a devoted following among in-the-know indie-pop kids. I'm fine either way; in fact, I'd actually prefer to see them in a small club. And since they are better than The Strokes, I can enjoy the smug satisfaction in knowing that only really cool people with great taste listen to one of the most nonchalant but accessible bands today.

Enjoy the recent performance of "1901" from the forthcoming Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. And check out the new video for another great track, "Lisztomania."
